    I've spilled more gas , diesel fuel and kerosene since these cans were introduced than in the 45 years prior !

    Perfect video!! If the objective of the gas can laws was to cause more spillage of fuel into ground they did a great job cause that is all these cans are good for. Unfortunately where I live there is no non-ethanol fuel option. Have to tear apart my carbs every year.

    I've had a running issue with my riding mower as the filler tube for it comes out of the side of the tractor. That means you have to hold the five gallon can of gas up the entire time you refuel and it has to go slowly. It's hard for me in my 70's to support a full can of gas for five to ten minutes to fill the tank. I finally decided to set the gas can on top of the tractor and use a jiggle hose to siphon gas into the tank.

    I bought one of these when they first came out. Awesome can like you say. I did have a problem with mine after a couple of months. The swivel area would leak. Their warranty is awesome. They sent me a new assembly and I haven't had a problem since. YOu should have mentioned the warranty it is 3 years!!!

    The Sure Can is a design made from scratch. Everything was re-thought. The other cans where made from old manufacturers who don't make the sprout and went with the cheapest design they could buy from suppliers, to fit their cans and comply with the FDA.

    @STANISHR99 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My 5 gallon surecan lasted about a half year before the rotating spout started to leak. Wasn’t bad at first because the release valve would hold if you drained the tube. A few months later the release valve must also leak because now it’s started dripping all the time. Will do an autopsy to see if an o ring or internal seal can be replaced.

  • @dalehammond1704
    @dalehammond1704 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've tried a couple different replacement spouts off Amazon and ebay and both were worthless. They leaked worse than the spouts that came on the cans. That new bottom drain can you showed here looks promising but the price!. Since those replacement spouts I ordered went into the trash, I've been using the 5 gal. cans that come with that push button spout like you showed and you said was okay (but not great). I removed that plastic fuel filter that makes it difficult to fill the can and I drilled an air hole w/plug on the handle. This at least makes the cans usable. The trouble is the short length of the spout. Once the cans are 3/4 empty I have to roll them around to get the rest of the gas out. It's a royal pain.

  • @sfeddie1
    @sfeddie1 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like the design of this gas can, but It seems to me that it could be fairly awkward to handle when trying to hold approximately 31 lbs (5 gallons) up high enough to get the spout in the filler on a lawn tractor. With the spout pointing down from the bottom it affectively doubles the overall height of the gas can.

  • @briandavis7811

  • @G.I.JeffsWorkbench
    @G.I.JeffsWorkbench 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yep, that tractor supply can sure looks nice - except for the ~$60 price tag. Looks like i’m gonna have to keep adding a tire air stem to the back of my cans to vent them. ~$25 + $3 for the tire valve stem.

  • @arthurpapazian6003
    @arthurpapazian6003 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don't like fuel coming from bottom of can. Unless it's the can is empty and dry and totally fresh fuel. Cool nights and hot days makes condensation around Boston area. If I have to tilt my can more than 45 degrees I pour it in a glass bottle first and inspect it for water. No more fouling my machines with water in the fuel system. But good can for fresh gas and using all of it within few days. Great videos !

  • @bobvb

    I have been using a can like the one you show for over a year. The biggest selling point for me was holding the can upright. Works great

  • @tomm1968
    @tomm1968 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have that first can you talked about. My girlfriend bought it, not me. The first time I tried to use it, simply pissed me off. However, here is what I have found, by necessity. Step 1, take the handle of the can with your support hand. Step 2, flip the safety lever by butting the palm of your other hand against the green button, and wrap your fingers over the top of the black flange on the top of the nozzle. Step 3, lift the can and put the nozzle in the tank. Step 4, squeeze the green button and black flange together to open the valve and start the flow of gas.
    It actually works decent once you figure out the screwed up ergonomics.

    I think with gas cans they keep in mind that it's so icky - therefore they take a lot more effort to make sure it gets on your hands and all over the place

  • @gibblespascack1418
    @gibblespascack1418 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Have you tried a Metal Eagle gas can. They seal well, but add an odd funnel for dispensing which works well until you try to empty the can. The only other down side is that they only hold 4.9 gal. They did increase prices in the past year from $40 to $60 per can.

  • @DannyWalker247
    @DannyWalker247 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have one more stupid. You have to twist the spout to a certain position and pull it down towards the can. When I do that gas just blows out the spout because heat has caused pressure to build inside. I have been meaning to look for a better version. That new gas tank reminds me of the trigger safety on my Glock.

  • @camperjack2620
    @camperjack2620 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The yellow on the old metal can may have been the writing the said GASOLINE. When I fill the big ones no I only buy 4 gallons or so. Its a little easier to handle, and when I get home, I pour it onto a one or two gallon can to dispense it into smaller tanks.

  • @JohnNewton-w3q
    @JohnNewton-w3q ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The surecan isn’t too bad, but the seal that comes with the can doesn’t hold up! Mine started leaking after a couple refills! I was lucky and had the perfect seal too replace the leaking seal! It’s been more then a year and no leaks! They aren’t cheap!

    I have several scepter gas cans , like you but I'm in SC. And I have several toys. Anyway I simply depressed the safety levers and drilled a screw and viola, they pour just like the old gas cans. Also replace the white o rings ,,they are junk. Use the black o ring like scepter used in the beginning.

    The stupid gas can spouts have a spring in them. If you can figure out how to remove it then it will stay open. Remove the spring and the spout will not close when you are using it.

    It’s the same as “low flow” toilets. They make them low flow to save water, but you have to flush them two or three times to get the crap to go away. So, actually we are using MORE water .??

    I think the modern saftey designs are for women, and
    that they are a good thing overall.
    These "bad" spouts allow you shift half the weight of the can onto the spout and provide a break from lifting what's probably a full can for the duration of the fuel transfer.
    At the same time though, I think that it's not right that the height of self-checkout scanners and even other card readers are so low, making tall guys, like me, break their backs to get their receipts and use their debit cards at check-out. It is often ridiculous.
    I also think that high stools should be used in the workplace. It's ridiculous that we expect people to stand so much, often for no reason other than that it makes executives feel good.

    • @BobbyS1981
      @BobbyS1981 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      My understanding is the only requirement by any government agency or law is to make the cans seal when not in use. This is to prevent the escape of hydrocarbons into an enclosed space (fire hazard) or into the atmosphere. Makes sense as you would not want a fire or to literally have your money evaporate.
      The spring loaded nozzles and mesh inserts are to prevent can explosions should the vapors ignite while pouring the gas. Its intent is to instantly block the vapor path into the can. If you want to put the blame on someone, put it on the morons who didn’t heed the warnings and tried to start/restart fires by pouring it on or near a heat source, injuring or killing themselves/others in the process. Blame it also on the lawyers who were climbing all over themselves to litigate the many cases.
      Blitz was litigated out of business while having one of the easiest to use spouts that met the EPA regulations. The Enviro-Flow spout could be opened with a push of the thumb on the lever and it had a flexible nozzle. I still have a 1 gallon one for my trimmer. Never had a spill. My Midwest Can had just spilled for the 15th time in 2.5 years as it didn’t seal when the nozzle sprung back out. It dulled the glossy red engine cover on my brand new Honda mower.
      Blitz and other companies even lobbied the CPSC for regulation regarding flame arrestors and they tabled it due to not enough evidence to support the use to prevent gas can explosions.
      So, thank all the Darwin Award candidates and winners as well as their lawyers for the glut of PITA to use gas cans.

  • @PatriotPaulUSA
    @PatriotPaulUSA ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice informative video, Thanks! Its a nice can but cost prohibitive sadly. I will just keep converting the terrible, but heavy walled plastic cans with a new long flex spout and cap, like yours, you have done, and add snap open plastic vents as needed. I really think this is just one more thing they know they can do, just to try to force in their dirty lithium battery cars. Its ridiculous how well internal combustion engines work and how clean they are today, but they are making the emissions goals unattainable, all to force the dirty china battery vehicles in. We don't even have the powerplants or the infrastructure to power them, but they are determined. Its sick really.

    No thanks! Another hole in a gas can, and at the bottom! I wont be buying one. Been using a variety of fuel containers for more than 65 years. They all used to work well. The newest ones are all crap. And the thread sizes for the spouts tend to be not compatible from one brand to another. But I've got a couple of Gott cans that I bought new spouts caps etc. for online. Still working on a solution for several others. Ive made replacement caps for a couple of them by carving a plastic disc out of a bucket lid.
